Our
experience tells us the best way to help the
most people is to focus on the underlying
causes of the most serious problems. Here in
our community, we’re focused on critical
issues like:

helping
individuals have access to
healthcare

providing
children and adults with education and life
skills

ensuring basic needs and emergency
services are available

It takes the whole community working
together to reach our goals in these areas.
So we bring people together from all across
the community— government, business, faith
groups, non profits, and concerned citizens.
If it requires fundraising or getting people
to work together, that’s what we do.

Your United Way contribution works to bring
lasting change right here because that’s what
matters.

Last year, your gift to United Way touched
the lives of 1 in 5 people in our community.
Thanks to your support, seniors were able to
remain independent, children received new
clothes for school, and families received
emergency assistance with food, medicine, and
utilities.

United Way’s priorities reflect our
community’s changing needs. Throughout the
year, United Way is mobilizing trained
volunteers to study those needs, and only
after careful consideration, do they choose
to invest resources where they will get
measurable results.

United Way works diligently and responsibly
to maximize our donors’ investments. By
partnering with volunteers to assist in the
annual campaign and encouraging collaboration
among our community partners, United Way is
able to ensure that your gift has a greater
impact.

Nothing is more important to us than the
trust and confidence of our donors. As the
leading charitable institution in our
community, representing their wishes is
critical to our continued success. At United
Way, we know that trust can never be
assumed–it is earned.

Whether you donate your time or give through
the annual campaign, your United Way
contribution is an investment in our community.

Making an individual gift or giving through
your employer's charitable giving campaign to
the Community Care Fund is the easiest and
most powerful way to improve lives.

Your contribution, no matter how great or
small, makes a difference. When combined with
the gifts of others, you are supporting a
coordinated network of health and human
services that are changing lives for at-risk
kids, senior citizens, people with
disabilities, and many more of your friends
and neighbors.

By focusing our community's resources on the
most pressing needs,we are able to provide
solutions and make a lasting impact right
here in our community. That's the strength of
the United Way.

United Ways work with volunteers and local
nonprofits to develop the best opportunities
for youth, bust working adults, and seniors
to serve. For more information on how you can
